A postdoctoral position in Statistical Machine Learning for a Clinical Application -------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Us: We are a multi-disciplinary research group working on data analysis for clinical and biological studies. Our institute, the Bioinformatics Institute, is nicely located in a research hub in the beautiful city nation of Singapore. This is an exciting project on intelligent glaucoma (eye disease) risk assessment. This is a highly inter-disciplinary project and our collaborators are leading experts in ophthalmology. For this project we have already collected some unique datasets from the clinics and will collect a few large-scale datasets. The developed techniques will be used on a daily basis in many clinics in Singapore and worldwide. We are seeking a highly motivated applicant to join us. The applicant is expected to be interested in doing research, to investigate computational approaches and build up predictive models for Glaucoma risk analysis. For this purpose, the applicant should be familiar with machine learning techniques, and in particular discriminative learning, classification and ranking, random forests, and graphical models. The job scope can be summarized as follows: (1) Develop novel, state-of-the-art statistical machine learning techniques for practical application to Glaucoma risk analysis; (2) Produce high quality research publications on related topics; (3) Work closely with eye doctors from the Singapore Eye Research Institute, and the National Univerisity Hospitals; (4) Develop prototypes in C++ or Java; (5) Work closely with a dedicated software engineer. The software engineer will convert prototypes developed in research into a user friendly Java application. The start date is flexible and is expected to be around July-Oct 2011. The position is for 2 years with a possibility for renewal.
